    Hiking

    One of the "magnetic mountains" of the Franconian Forest! Here compass needles play crazy. In addition, the Peterlesstein is located in a beautiful pine forest and can be reached via an idyllic path.

    Hiking

    Nice destination located above the mirror ponds. Short, narrow ascent is rewarded with a wonderful view and an idyllic place to rest

    Hiking

    The Peterlesstein is a fascinating natural monument. The 589-meter-high mountain consists of serpentinite rock with magnetite inclusions, which are said to make compass needles go haywire here. However, our compass showed the cardinal directions normally, even though we tried at different spots.
